TOGETHER ! ACCESSIBLE RESERVED! SEATING ! ! We celebrate the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary this week. She is considered the first disciple of Jesus. Her life ! tells us who she was: a mother, wife, daughter, niece, friend, ! neighbor, and disciple. Her presence in Jesus’ life has to have been formative. Scripture reveals that Mary lived a life of generosity, compassion, forgiveness, hope, and kindness. She was the very first servant leader in the church. She gave up her own status in the community for the sake of Jesus M bearing him, raising him, learning from him. She teaches us how to serve and how to lead. ! ! Your challenge this week is to read Luke 1: 39 56. How is God asking you to lead in a spirit of service? What is your response? ! ! ! Upcoming GIFT: ! ! First Reconciliation Parent Meeting: !Sunday, 9/23, 7pm ! !

We hope this higher visibility of reserved seating is helpful to those who are new to the community or worshipping for the first time with us. !! 10TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATED! IN GUATEMALA! ! ! A delegation from the Diocese of ! Metuchen traveled to the ! Diocese of Santa Rosa in Guatemala from July 23 30. This year marks the 10th Anniversary of the Guatemalan Scholarship Program between our two dioceses. The program began with 11 scholarships and ten years later, we are now able to assist 256 students with their education. ! ! A wonderful celebration was held on Sunday, July 29th at the Pastoral Center in Santa Rosa. Over 300 guests attended to give thanks for God's blessings upon the program. How humbling it was to hear the stories of gratitude from the families and communities whose lives have been transformed in amazing ways by the scholarship program. ! ! Our parish of St. Charles currently sponsors 45 students. If you would like to learn about the program and how you too can become a sponsor, please email Trish at [email protected]. !
